Fook......did solve the issue of line numbers though....did it?

Give me OO any day..and I'm embarassed to admit I can implement a design pattern..

PROC
A keyword used to identify a user-defined procedure. PROC is followed immediately by the procedure name; the first character of a procedure name may be an underline (or a digit).
A procedure may take any number of parameters of any type (or none). It does not have to be defined before it is called.

A procedure definition is terminated by ENDPROC.

Procedures are re-entrant and the parameters (arguments) are normally passed by value. The keyword RETURN can be used in the procedure definition to specify that a parameter should instead be passed by reference. Arrays and structures are always passed by reference.

INPUT"Number of discs "F
PROC_hanoi(F,1,2,3)
END
:
DEF PROC_hanoi(A,B,C,D)
IF A=0 THEN ENDPROC
PROC_hanoi(A-1,B,D,C)
PRINT"Move disk ";A" from ";B" to ";C
PROC_hanoi(A-1,D,C,B)
ENDPROC

Single-line procedures can be placed anywhere within your program. Multi-line procedures must be placed where they will not be executed 'out of sequence', this usually means at the end of the program after the END statement. See the Procedures and functions sub-section for more information.
(BBC BASIC for Windows version 5.00a or later only)
PROC may alternatively be followed by a numeric value contained in parentheses. This causes the procedure pointed to by the specified value to be called (an indirect call):

pptr% = ^PROC_hanoi()
PROC(pptr%)(a, b, c, d)

See the Indirect procedure and function calls sub-section for more information.
Syntax
PROC(<numeric>)[(<exp>{,<exp>})]
PROC<name>[(<exp>{,<exp>})]


Associated Keywords
DEF, ENDPROC, FN, LOCAL, PRIVATE, RETURN

apparently :rofl: fooked if i can remember to be honest

Re: LCD Vs Plasma
 

No. BBC Basic can be written with or without line numbers, or they can be automatically removed/renumbered with a click.

Re: LCD Vs Plasma
 

PROC was a hell of a lot better than GOSUB as used by some of the lesser machines.

All coming out of the woodwork...forget how many IT people are on BE sometimes..

Plasma! Total no brainer. Old man has LCD and the picture for HD content is rubbish. You can hardly tell it's HD. He then looks at the HD picture on my Panny plasma and you can see his jaw drop. Total no brainer!.....unless you're a hardcore gamer.

Four TV's in the house. Main TV in the lounge is plasma. All the other's, which are used for games and PC's are LCD.

IMO LCD is generally brighter and therefore better suited to games/PC's. Plasma is just a 'better' picture and more suited as the main TV.

Re: LCD Vs Plasma
 

Thats pretty much how i understood the whole plasma-lcd thingy

Re: LCD Vs Plasma
 

We've never had more than one TV. Do you get blur on games?

Re: LCD Vs Plasma
 

Both the boys confirm that their Samsung LCD's TV, one connected to PS3 the other to an xBox elite, via HDMI connections, don't suffer from any blur.

Re: LCD Vs Plasma
 

Yes, I have a main plasma and a couple of LCD's and that sums it up for me, smaller screens ( < 42" )& gaming = LCD, best possible picture quality=plasma. LCD motion blur is generally more noticeable during fast moving sport rather than gaming.

Second that, it was a good little programme. :thumbup:

I particularly liked the portrayal of Sinclair ... if he was ANYTHING like that then he would have been a hoot/nightmare to work for.

Re: LCD Vs Plasma
 

Thanks - (and Uranus too). Why is that?

We were told that Plasmas were bad in well lit rooms (such as ours - admittedly lit from side).

Well with light streaming in this arvo we had a particularly great picture.

Glad I got the plasma. We're very happy with it.

Nice chart explaining the impact of viewing distance on screen-size and resolution.

Worth checking before spending extra on something you won't notice.
